I was trying to practice sending a package so I decided that I would send the SCCM console to a collection that has other administrator's workstations. Does anyone know what this "Setup cannot locate Install.map." error means when they go to run the Advertisementand how can I fixit?Gerard Aguilar

Does this thread help you out?http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgradminconsole/thread/4a6e39e4-72af-4154-9889-2318636ed9ba/

Toreston,No it does not. It mentions nothing regarding my error "Setup cannot locate Install.map."Gerard Aguilar

Gaguilar said: No it does not. It mentions nothing regarding my error "Setup cannot locate Install.map."It does not mention that, but it provides a step by step manual on how to create an unattended setup of the admin console. Have you tried it that way? Are you still getting this error?

I also have checked the path D:\SMS\ - install.map is missing....How can i recover this file?---------------------------------------------------------------------------Repair or the install option in the sms I have spoken to microsoft and they said the only solution is to reinstall SMS - BAAAHH!

I've seen the same thing and was able to resolve it by using a server OS instead of Win7. Maybe this will work for you as well.

I was having the same problem and in my case I had downloaded this executable (ConfigMgr07SP2Upgrade_RTM_ENU.exe) and extracted it with 7zip, which caused the "install.map" error. I saw the same thing unzipping it in Windows Explorer. When I used the self-extractor of the executable it extracted properly and this error went away. I was able to install SP2 successfully.
